Trip down memory lane

I was having a peek through some of my old post.

It's hard to believe I've been blogging for at over 10 years, since 2007 to be exact.

Anyway I've picked out a couple of favourites to share again

A Day at Doncaster - 2011 - hubby didn't enjoy the day and I just can't imagine why 😂 lack of trains I reckon

Happy Anniversary - Less is More - 2011 - got to love a One-Layer card

No Mistletoe Just Wine - 2016 - the saddest thing about this is my sis-in-law never got this card because I put it in a safe place.......................🤦

Kraft Away - 2016 - Ah my adventure into quilting.....

Fab'n'Funky Time Again - 2016 - Looking through all these posts, we seem to spend a lot of time at Donington Park Racetrack

Card Tutorial PLUS Hire a stall?? Oh Help  -  ah Christmas cards for the masses or should that be for my children to give out😂

Holy Crochet Batman - 2012  -  I can't believe how excited I got when this happened, especially since I can now whip up anything I set my heart on making. 

But you know what they say "You can never beat your first time 😉

Well that's it for this trip down memory lane, I hope you found something to inspire you.

I have met some amazing people an made some great friends, Thank You xx

Hugs & Happy Thoughts

All Sorts of Christmas Challenges

What a Christams!?!?!?!?
Half the house laid up with flu, half the presents not wrapped....But hey ho, we're still here and fitting back 👌
At least we got a fully plastered wall for christmas, I can't stop singing the builderes praises enough. They gave us back Christmas.
A little bit of news...the forensics came back and the police came to take our statements again. Hopefully the driver will now come to justice.

 Now for some fun crafty stuff...

Firstly I have a christmas card to share with you...

I am entering this little card into the

• Allsorts Challenge Blog - Seasonal Flowers

 I kept it nice and simple. I loved the effect silver and white on kraft. I used Ice Grey promarker to highlight the edges of the petals and went over it with a sakura clear stardust pen (unfrtunately it didn't show in the photo). The greeting was stamped in smokey slate then overwritten with a silver pen.

Now I'm sure no one wants to sing christmas songs now BUT lets finish off the Advent calendar shall we....

" In the -- Advent window 

my calendar gave to me

(21) One glass of Bubbly

 

(22) A cute fluffy bunny

(23) A quick boot up the backside

(24) A blurry special greeting

And (25) an exploding bottle of bubbly

The minute my camera batteries are fully recharged I shall share all my little creations (DOH!)

 

Now, I said I would be giving away some candy in the New Year and I meant it. There will be 2 prize candies - One for UK/Ireland and the other Worldwide.

Kraft Away

Hello again crafty peeps,
or should that be Krafty peeps?!?
We have a great challenge for you over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week. We want you to

Get Krafty

We want to see use Kraft card or paper somewher in your project...easy peasy!

Our lovely sponsor for this weeks challenges is......

The prize is the winner will get 2 digi's of their choice.

 So without further ado....

I knew I had to have this image the moment I saw her. This is Hello Sadoko (Hello Kitty meets Sadoko from The Ring) you can find it HERE 
It just felt right that this image would work well with kraft card and it does give it that oriental feel.
Of course no card would be complete without a hint of bling.....hence the subtle coloured gems.

Please pop over and visit our lovely DT at Fab'n'Funky and leave them some positive feedback. It is always gratefully received.

So I thought I would also share with you my other little project. It's my very first attempt at a quilt.

It's not quite finished and I'm not sure if I'm fully happy with it yet. But I also have to stop being so hard on myself and remember it's my first go.

Back soon with more sharing

CR84FN colour challenge

Hello again,
CR84FN36 colour challenge were lovely colours

and here is my creation

I've used another Lili of the Valley stamped images from the freebie stack, some yellow gingham paper lurking in my stash, kraft paper for the buttons and backers, harlequin ribbon, papermania lemon sorbet flowers and of course Promarkers.
The buttons are from an Annemarie die set, and the large backer is a spellbinder die











Well, better go make dinner.

A quick Hello to my newest follower Lesley, glad to have you x

Back soon

Not a brilliant blogger

Oh dear, I've been that caught up in getting some cards made I've really let my blog slip.

I have created a card for the CR84FN29 color challenge

It seemed weird at first, but it is definitely growing on me,

I made it for my daughters future m-i-l, I hope she likes it.

A Perfect Day

Definately a perfect day. I manage to tidy up, and do some card making..... Well, it is a perfect day when you consider I spent most of yestarday 15ft up a tree.
But enough of trees..... I have made a card for the CR84FN colour challenge

This weeks colours proved a little tricky, but I hope I've done it justice

I've gone for subtle, all the colours are there, just gentler.
